I decided to make another wall hanging. I FINALLY got a Spellbinder's Grand Die. They work great for altered projects. I took some cardboard and ripped the top layer off. You are then left with a mess to try and peel off. I simply mist that thin layer that is left with a little water and let it sit a few minutes. It peels right off! Then I painted a thin layer of acrylic paint to the ridges. I cut the two patterned paper layers embellished and stitched them together and decopaged them to the base. As you can see I used the Sewing Elements set for the sewing machine and scissors and the Home Sweet Home set for the small button die cut. I also used a stamp set designed by Nina called Sew Lovely. Paper is from My Minds Eye. Bling is the pretty Border Bling called Fancy That that Nina designed for Want 2 Scrap.
